Spinach Casserole

I'm kind of laughing at myself as I start to post this one. You see, when I made this last week I just knew it was going to be good so I made sure to snap some photos along the way. We had it for dinner that night and it was a huge hit. My oldest daughter said, "You remember what you did to make this right?" and I replied, "Yep!"

And I did.

But that was a week ago.

So with the help of the photos I'm going to try to walk you through the steps. Since I always say recipes are just 'guides' and you should always play with it to make it your own, this gives you a lot of leeway to play with. *Truly, I'm going off memory here so play with your recipe for more/less or cream cheese and use a little more salt and pepper if you desire.

Cook the spinach in a microwave safe bowl while you make the rue. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Cook the onions until translucent but not brown. Add the flour and whisk to cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk, starting with about 1 1/2 cups. If it gets too thick too fast, add another 1/2 cup. To the spinach add the cream cheese, cut into cubes. Pour the white sauce into the spinach. Season with salt and pepper and a bit of garlic powder (1/4 - 1/2 t) to taste. Place in a greased casserole dish and top with the shredded cheese (although my daughter says you can leave this off as the spinach was awesome without the cheese on top too).

I baked this at 350 for about 25 minutes until heated through and the cheese was melted.

This site began in 2006 when I decided to use it to save and store my favorite collected recipes and food photos for easy access, and for my kids to use them in their cooking endeavors. It's my own personal site but I keep it public so others can use it too.

This blog isn't about pretty pictures - it's about the food.I don't even always remember to take pictures of the food as I'm making it and I rarely have time to set up a 'photo-shoot' of the food to make it look glamorous like some other more recent food blogs do.My pictures are all snapped quickly with my iPhone.I'm just a wife and Mom who shares my cooking adventures and recipes.
